Harry Reid cites father’s suicide in gun debate
Politico ^ | 04/09/2013 | By GINGER GIBSON

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid again took the Senate floor to make a very personal plea on Tuesday morning for a vote on gun control legislation.

~snip~

“In Nevada, if you purchase a handgun, you have to wait three days to pick it up,” Reid said. “And it is believed that alone has saved the lives of many people. Sometimes people in a fit of passion will purchase a handgun to do bad things with it, Mr. President, even as my dad did — killed himself. Waiting a few days helps.”

What a low-life despicable thing to do. I don't think even Joe Biden politically grandstanded off the death of his first wife in this sleazy a manner.

Be nice if someday I could refer to Reid and say, “Like father, like son!”

Too bad Harry’s dad’s little “gun” did not fire blanks in bed.

Remember, this is the same guy who told us that seniors rely on receiving junk mail to entertain themselves. Reid is a loon.

We need a three-day waiting period for a rope purchase. Harry’s dad could have just as well done the hanging thing.

On the flip side... those folks in LA who wanted to purchase a FA to protect their lives, businesses, and possessions against the wild looting of the Rodney King riots (can we get along?) were hamstrung by the 3-day wait. All tehy had to protect after 72-hours was ashes and broken glass.

Waits are dumb.

Reid’s dad was going to kill himself somehow. What if he had done the car thing? Or the pill thing?

Wait. So yer pappy waited couldn’t wait to kill himself?

I’m thinking he was lazy and should done it 73, 74 years ago...

You brought him into the debate. Fair game.

Oh, and sorry you lost your father. In his next life he’ll probably figure he’d better use a map on whatever Kolob planet he landed on.

There you would be wrong in your thinking. Biden tried to score sympathy points by claiming the driver of the truck that struck his first wife was drunk. The truck driver was not drunk, speeding, or negligent in any way.

It was an elective late trem abortion.

I only wish he had done it BEFORE he slept that whore that gave birth to Harry.

“Hey Harry!” Yeah you, you low life turd. What if pops had jumped off the Golden Gate bridge- would we still be having this debate?

Think you can get any more despicable than this? How low can you go Harry?
